A New Half Century Opens.

LONDON, June 2l.-The first day OF the
tifty-tirst year of the reign of Queen Vic
TOria over Great Britain, Opened witt
perfect summer weather in London.
Thousands OF people who yesterday Sc
lected locations along the route of to-
days procession in order to retain them
occupied them all night. At O'Clock
the line of the route was on
each side compact mass of
people. The scene at Westminster
Abbey was most brilliant: ey-
cry seat was filled and every person
present was a distinguished person.
When the Identities are enumerated, it
seems as if every locality, the world
over, had sent one or more of its repre-
sentative persOnages TO do honor to the
English queen on Britlsn's greatest
holiday. There never, probably, in
modern times, was assembled
under one roof, an audience so
we'll and so brilliantly arrayed. Every
man present entitled to wear uniform
or a decoration had both on, new or bur-
nished up. When this audience was all
seated the scene presented was inCOm-
parable. When the sun shOne brightly
through the noble stained windows
of the Abbey, its rays fell
upon AN exceptional sight and
the picture was indescribable.
This audience, banked up as it was in a
church was anything but sOmbre.
While when all were seated there was
quiet, but tn is was only temporary and
lasted only long enough TO enable the
people to locate one another. Then there
was life OF recognition and of gossip,
and 1t graduated rapidly into a noisy
hum

Though Shaken Like a Leaf

By the most trivial causes, weak nerves are
easily susceptible of IMMIGRATION, a term
which also imports, in this instance, quietude.
The nervous have but to use Hostetter's StOm-
ach Bitters systematically to overcome that
super-sensitiveness of the human sensOrium,
mental tranquility, and which reacts most
hurtfully upon the system. The difficulty I'M
DERIVING this, as well as many other ailments,
is imperfect assimilation, no less than inCOm-
plete digestion af the food. In the discharge
of both the digestive and assimilative func-
tons, the Bitters are the most potent, the
most reliable auxiliary. As the body regains
nervous system are also benefited Persons
subject to the influence of malaria, dyspeptiC
and rheumatic invalids, and persons whose
kidneys are inactive, should, also, use the
Bitters.
